As a child, I always played hide-and-seek in the woods behind my house. I would even hide in the overgrown grass at the abandoned house next door. All the kids did the same and we never thought twice about ticks or any other insects. Today, circumstances are much different. Lyme Disease is running rampant as one of […]

With warm, wonderful weather also comes the not-so-wonderful bugs. We all want to enjoy the lovely Spring and Summer without telling these pesks to buzz off all the time. So, what’s a natural-minded one to do? The answer first and foremost is to stay far away from conventional bug sprays. The Problem With Conventional […]

My daughter and I have been co-sleeping for most of her life, but it hasn’t been the best setup. My whole family and I recently got bio-energetic scans done and it turned out that my sleep cycles and melatonin levels were way off. I wasn’t surprised, because I never felt like I could get into […]

I will be honest, I used to hate the scent of lavender! I am pretty sure I was scarred during childhood by the dozens and dozens of cheap lavender body washes and lotions I would get every Christmas. That and Coconut Lime Verbena would soon turn me off for a long, long time. But when I went […]

As a super busy Mama of two little ones, I’m always looking for ways to simplify things. Dressing the kids, packing up all of their “stuff” (oh there’s so much stuff) and loading them into the car isn’t always my idea of fun. Then once they’re all buckled in, it never fails that I hear, “Mom, […]

I don’t know about you, but I am one Mama who is always on the hunt for healthy, minimally processed snacks for my kids. Truth-be-told, they are NOT easy to find and they’re always so outrageously expensive! I heard about UrthBox, a healthy snack subscription company that sends out boxes of goodies to my door starting at only […]

Summer temperatures are really starting to heat up, and it’s time for those beach trips! Ahhh, the sun, waves and sand. Is there honestly anything more zen?? Hmm…possibly. Kids + Beach doesn’t usually = Zen….at least not when you’re unprepared! Here are a few tips to think of ahead of time to make your beach […]

A little over 4 years ago, I threw out my conventional deodorant, and haven’t looked back since. There have been a lot of (smelly) ups and downs, trying to find that perfect alternative that could keep up with my active lifestyle. But to me, that trial and error was well worth it. Conventional deodorants try […]

I want to chat about something very important today. BEING SMELLY. About 4 years ago, in an effort to live a little less toxic, I threw out my Lady Speed Stick. It wasn’t an easy decision…because who wants to smell? But I had to do it. After finding out what really lurks inside conventional deodorants, I […]

Ya know how Sonny the Cuckoo Bird always exclaimed, “I’m cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!”? Well, I kind of feel like stepping on a roof top and exclaiming, ” I’m nutty for coconut butter!!”. Okay, maybe that’s a little a lot cheesy, but I have had the privilege of trying a really amazing coconut butter, and […]

Ohh, the teething saga. The lovely time where your little one is constantly fussy and annoyed by their budding chicklets bursting through the surface. Before my “Natural Mama” journey began, I stocked up on those plastic teethers for my baby. You know, the little ones filled with water (we think) that you can throw in […]

Disclosure: The Ollie World provided a swaddle for this review. I was not financially compensated and all opinions are my own. Well, I’m a second-time Mom now, and you would think I have all of the kinks worked out this time around…but I don’t 🙂 The truth is, we never swaddled my first born. We watched the […]

During the holidays, I indulged heavily in tons of sweets. Cookies, brownies, cake balls…you name it. I ate it. These last few days I have been working on re-cooping a little bit from the treats getting back on the Paleo track. Otto’s Naturals provided me with a gluten-free, grain-free and nut-free flour for review. […]
